Hi,

I do not think that what Per suggests is the problem, if you look at the potential energy after the minimisation this value is huge (and the other two values are inf!). The problem is most likely with your topology. As you say the two molecules have been successfully minimised on their own so I would suggest that your problem is with either how you edit the .top file or the distance restraint between the molecules. For my protein that has more than one identical chains pdb2gmx does not recognise them as one if you provide different chain identifiers in the pdb file, so doing this should hopefully stop you having to edit the .top file.

Hope this helps

Tom

 Dear gmx-users,
  
 I have 2 molecules in a box, as usual pdb2gmx saw them as one. i edited
the .top file to remove the bonds created between the two molecules, I
also added a distance restraint btw the molecules. (The 2 structures have
been separately minimized). However, I get the ff message for EM run:

Stepsize too small, or no change in energy.
Converged to machine precision,
but not to the requested precision Fmax < 1000
 
Double precision normally gives you higher accuracy.
 
Steepest Descents converged to machine precision in 15 steps,
but did not reach the requested Fmax < 1000.
Potential Energy  =  1.0246325e+20
Maximum force     =            inf on atom 1
Norm of force     =            inf I would appreciate any advice on how
to fix this.
 Rgds
 John
